Alcohol speaker urges
students to help others
By Cindi Vavra
Staff Reporter
Duke Engel, Assistant Director of
the Lincoln General Hospital In
dependence Center, was the featured
speaker at the fourth annual "Do It
Sober," held Monday night in the
Nebraska Union.
Engel began his talk with a short
reminder of this year's "Do It Sober"
theme: intervention. Engel said he
wants students to help students.
Engel asked the audience how get
ting "smashed" can be fun when many
people end up oh the verge of throwing
up and having bed-spins.
Engel said, "We keep telling our
selves getting drunk is fun . . . you
didn't have a good time . . . let's stop
lying about it."
Engel said a common drinking myth
is that drinking makes people fun. He
said empty bottles on shelves in dorm
rooms or apartments are saying "I
drank all of that by myself, and that
makes me a fun person."
Movies such as "Revenge of the
Nerds" and "The Breakfast Club" high
light the use of drugs and alcohol when
cnaraciers iuu&eu up uici uuiuuug ui
smoking maryuana.
Engel said a common problem with
college drinking is that "Nobody wants
to be the lightweight." He went on with
tongue-in-cheek ways to learn how to
drink a lot: First, Engel said, gain about
50 pounds. Then, acquire an alcoholic
mother, father or both, to increase
genetic possibility since these people
seem to "have the edge."
And finally, Engel said, go into train
ing to be a drunk. "Drink 'til you almost
puke," he said, and after a day or two,
repeat your actions three or four times
every week for six months, and you will
be a "bonafide drunk."
Engel said people pay for their
drinking, and then asked the audience
how many people had friends who died
before the age of 25. Engel said statis
tics show that half of all deaths in
teenage years are , alcohol related,
because judgment becomes impaired
and people begin to do technical things
such as driving.
Engel said he has seen a change in
students in recent years, and he believes
students are now willing to intervene
when a friend has a drinking problem.
He said he knows talks like "Do It
Sober" won't change students, but that
students will change students.
NCAA decision released
Football team eligible for bowls, TV despite probation
By The Associated Press
MISSION, Kan. The University of
Nebraska football and women's soft
ball programs have been placed on
probation for a maximum of one year
for violations of NCAA extra-benefit
rules, the National Collegiate Athletic
Association said in a news release
Monday.
During the probation, which began
Oct. 14, the university will be required
to conduct a review of its internal
procedures to detect and prevent viola
tions of the NCAA extra-benefit rule in
the two sports.
The probation does not affect post
season play or television appearances
for the football team. The NCAA adopted
action taken previously by the univer
sity against an assistant academic
counselor because of her involvement
in violations regarding the football
team.
That action included a six-month
probation, ineligibility for advancement
in her duties during the probation and
ineligibility for pay increases before
July 1, 1987.
The football violations did not involve
any member of the football coaching
staff, the NCAA said.
"This case was limited in nature and
did not involve a pattern of serious
violations," said Frank J. Remington,
chairman of the NCAA Committee on
Infractions.
"With regard to football, the primary
concern of the committee related to
the involvement of an assistant aca
demic counselor in events surrounding
the lease of an automobile by a student
athlete," Remington said.
The NCAA said the counselor helped
a football player lease a 1985 Nissan
300ZX and then did not adequately
inform the athletic department of the
facts in the case.
"The seriousness of the matter was
heightened when the assistant aca
demic counselor failed to adequately
inform her superiors of these events
and when she and the student-athlete
provided false information to the NCAA
during the investigation of the matter,"
Remington said.
The committee also said that because
